No.
The reason is not oil.

It's amazing to me how many people love coming online (or on television) and (as if in the know) feel they just need to say the word 'Oil'.

Since I live in a region producing massive amount of oil and have family who worked in the oil business in Libya then lets try and understand a really basic thing in life:

Libya has to sell its oil. It doesn't matter who runs that place. They WILL CONTINUE selling oil.
Right now it's dictator sells massive amounts of oil at highly controlled and regulated prices.

If he is eliminated and Mohammad Mohammad King of the Rebels becomes Grand Poobah then guess what?
He will be selling that oil.

Makes no damn difference to us whatsoever.

The only possible problem could happen if some morons get in there who (somehow) try and shut down production or refuse to sell it.
Which would be STUPID for them.
Obviously.
Even a stupid Jihad moron leader easily gets the idea of having MASSIVE CASH GIVEN TO THEM.
And EVEN IF that happened you need to understand that other oil-producers just up their production.

If this was only about oil then the best case scenario is this idiot stays dictator and keeps selling massive amounts of oil.

So no. This is not about oil. Sorry that ruins a lot of peoples 'insider wink' thing,
but, if you just think of this for 1 minute you can see, quite obviously, it is not about oil.
